I remember the days when Alcoa fielded teams made up mostly of kids that lived In Alcoa. Now they have kids from As far as strawberry plains and everywhere in between. Farragut has has one of if not the toughest regular season schedule and scrimmaged Central in the spring and Greeneville this summer so I don’t really know what you’re getting at. 

That's called success. Built it and they will come from eveywhere. Players put in a lot of work. Some want to have every advantage to play at the next level. It is no different in kids picking the best college to attend in hopes for sucess in live.

Regardless where they are from, TSSAA regulates that they move to the City or sit out one year.  Inside the County, they can pay tuition and play starting there 9th grade year.

If the ultimate goal is to be victorious,  Playing for Alcoa is no Secret!!!:thumb:

Spot on! The WB mindset is very strong in that one BC!  Just another one of those who get pumped to play Alcoa for a quarter in a jamboree, but run and hide when it comes to scheduling a regular season 4 qtr game.  :lol:

I have had to travel a lot lately during the week and weekends. I am so thankful for Farragut's video streaming. I watched this morning on my laptop. It's easy to jump on the O line but #4 for West was a 1 man show on defense. Not sure why Farragut didn't go with 2 backs just to help pick him up. I agree that the muffed punt changed momentum but I don't recall seeing a Farragut team that drops so many passes. I also don't understand punting the ball when you are down with under 3 minutes to play. The Knoxville area 5A schools are going to be interesting to watch this season. West being 2-0 is going to make some noise.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
